Kojima Reveals Action Figure Raiden From Metal Gear Rising

Kojima posted some new pictures on his Twitter of a Raiden figure that's in the works, and being developed by Play Arts. It is Raiden from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, sporting his futuristic cyborg ninja outfit and bandana in front of one eye.

Must have! I want to have this statue... gonna order it!

Nyxus4439d ago

Many great MGS statues in the making, hopefully they will be somewhat affordable.

MrGunny944439d ago

Where can i order them from? I bought the ones i have from local stores (with luck)

Nyxus4439d ago

I'm not sure if you can get them yet outside of Japan. This Raiden and Solidus figure are still in development too.

Nate-Dog4438d ago

Play.com might, might have them if they're being stocked outside the UK. The Solid Snake and Gray Fox figures were initially mostly supposed to be released in Japan but a few UK sites have them listed now.

MrGunny944439d ago

Alright, thanks i still want my Old Snake statue =/

Nyxus4439d ago

Here they have the crouching Old Snake, if that's what you mean, and it's pretty cheap:

They also have the Gray Fox and Solid Snake 25th Anniversary, but those are expensive.

DA_SHREDDER4438d ago

I liked Raiden when he was in MGS2, the new one is nothing but a shadow of his former self. Raiden just turned into a GOW clone with a katana.

dark-hollow4438d ago

How's mgs rising is anything like GOW?
It plays like a traditional hack n slash.

Baka-akaB4437d ago

regular raiden barely had a personality , and was at best a placeholder for snake and mostly existing to provide a nice plot twist .

That's why the cool cyborg ninja , with a tragic past , drastic change was easy to swallow by most people

What's wrong with his face?

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion319d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken319d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501318d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken318d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992319d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion318d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic319d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne319d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B319d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
